Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of domestic violence on children's performance in Pakele subcounty, located in Adjumani district. The specific objectives were threefold: firstly, to examine the effects of domestic violence on learners' performance in Pakele sub-county; secondly, to establish the influence of psychological abuse on children's performance in the same region; and thirdly, to explore the strategies implemented to curb domestic violence in Pakele sub-county. The research utilized a descriptive research design to investigate the relationship between domestic violence and children's academic performance in Pakele Sub County, Adjumani District. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data, the study involved 70 respondents, including head teachers, teachers, students, parents, victims of domestic violence, and local leaders. The sampling techniques employed were purposive and simple random sampling. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and interview guides, with a 5point Likert scale used for closed-ended questions. The study employed validity and reliability measures to ensure the robustness of the instruments. Ethical considerations, including informed consent, confidentiality, and respect for respondents, were prioritized throughout the research process. The analysis of data involved both descriptive and inferential statistical methods, presenting findings through tables, figures, and percentages. The study revealed demographic characteristics of the participants, highlighting gender distribution, marital status, level of education, and age categories. The results indicated a higher vulnerability of females to domestic violence and a predominant presence of single respondents, mainly students. The majority of respondents had attained a secondary level of education, and participants aged 31 to 40 years were the most represented. Despite limitations such as potential non-response and financial constraints, the study contributed valuable insights into the complex interplay between domestic violence and academic performance.
